Ritual Protein 

Protein powders can feel intimidating ('no pain, no gain'), and their formulas opaque (not just because they're a powder). But the truth is, deep down - as in, cellular level deep - we all need protein, and it's about more than just muscles.

So Ritual's team of scientists (hello, Harvard) reimagined protein from the ground up and inside out, from how it's made to who it's for and why it's needed. The result is a delicious, plant-based protein - offered in three premium formulations for distinct life stages and unique nutrient needs - all made with the same high-standards approach and commitment to traceability that Ritual is known for.

Just Thrive Health Probiotics 

Did you know probiotics are for our furry friends too? Introducing Best Dog Probiotic: Just Pets Probiotic: A clinically proven and powerfully effective spore probiotic to help your furry friend feel their best!

 

I sat down with Tina Andersen, Founder of Just Thrive to find out more!

When something’s wrong with your dog’s gut, you can tell.

Smelly gas takes over the room. You pick up foul-smelling poop (much worse than usual) on your walks. Or your dog has diarrhea that’s virtually impossible to clean.

Any of these issues point to an imbalance in your dog’s gut microbiome, the trillions of bacteria in your dog’s gut. When their gut is in healthy balance, beneficial bacteria (probiotics) vastly outnumber harmful bacteria (pathogens).

And when your best friend’s gut is out of balance – a condition called dysbiosis, where pathogens outnumber probiotics – it can affect much more than gas and poop. In fact, it could be the source of other health and behavioral challenges. 

Probiotics can’t work their magic if they don’t get where they need to go. And that’s where spore probiotics make all the difference for your dog’s gut microbiome.

Unlike other forms of probiotics, Just Pets Probiotic spore probiotics were designed by nature to survive extreme temperatures and stomach acids so they always arrive in the gut alive.

Once they reach the gut microbiome, spore probiotics activate and quickly get to work clearing out bad bacteria and encouraging the growth of new, beneficial bacteria. This rebalancing process can support the optimal health and protection of your dog’s gut, resulting in numerous health and behavioral benefits. 

A clinical study involving healthy dogs and dogs with severe GI issues showed that a unique blend of spore probiotics made a dramatic difference.
